Hi ExB community,
I'm working with the text widget. I've applied dynamic content to it, so when the user selects a polygon, information about that polygon appears.
I notice when a polygon isn't selected, the expression shows, which I don't really want them to see.
Is there a way to change this?
I've made a quick video explaining what I mean.

I've had to grey out some areas due for privacy.
One "workaround" is to enter the dynamic text as an expression (instead of Attribute) and give the expression a name like "No Data", or whatever you want to appear when there isn't a value.
Then, if there is no data in that field for the selected feature, it displays the Expression title, not the expression itself.
Didn't seem to work at first, but just re-tested and putting a space as the Expression name makes it "appear" to be empty when no data.

Clever. That's a good one! Would be good though if this could get looked at in the future by the developers.
this workaround was suggested by one of the developers on a separate post. So, they are aware.

This was useful, and helped me. It would be great to have a workaround or solution for the image widget as well. When nothing selected, it shows the no image data.
